BBV - It happens to THEM too. Bush/Cheney left off the ballot.
Service personnel from some Illinois counties were happy to receive special absentee blank ballots, but surprised to discover that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were not on them.

The confusion apparently is a result of the Republican National Convention being held so late this year which conflicted with the dates county clerks office were supposed to have their ballots certified. Bush/Cheney were not listed on the blank ballots because they had not officially been nominated by the time the ballots went to print.

Hey, if you weren't nominated in time, you shouldn't be on the ticket. You had four years to get ready........

1. Kerry should have fought harder
against Bush's late convention. Bush was not technically eligible for the ballot in something like 20 states. And look at the big outrage the Republicans put on about Kerry thinking about accepting the nomination after the convention so he could spend more money.
